In the present study, we investigated whether cold plasma activation affected the efficacy of aerosolized hydrogen peroxide against S. Typhimurium and L. innocua. Stem scars and smooth surfaces of grape tomatoes, surfaces of Granny Smith apples and Romaine lettuce (both midrib and upper leaves) and cantaloupe…

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers, including of N95 masks (fltering facepiece respirators; FFRs). These masks are intended for single use but their sterilization and subsequent reuse has the potential to substantially mitigate…

Ionized hydrogen peroxide (iHP) is a new technology used for the decontamination of surfaces or laboratory areas. It utilizes a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) mixed with air and ionized through a cold plasma arc. This technology generates reactive oxygen species as a means of decontamination…

Effective decontamination procedures are critical for a range of healthcare environments. These spaces vary in their layout, HVAC and engineering controls, as well as room classification (for cleanrooms). Hospital pharmacies are a notable example of spaces where aseptic conditions must be maintained;…

This paper addresses the issues of getting a hospital disinfectant approved by the EPA, some of the challenges encountered and results achieved for a number of hospital related pathogens including MRSA, Pseudomonas sp., H1N1, etc. using a novel approach. The paper also addresses the differences between…

What are Multidrug Resistant Organisms (MDROs) or Antimicrobial Resistant?Drug-resistant pathogens are a growing concern in the healthcare industry and pose a significant threat to patient health and safety. Drug or antimicrobial pathogens are defined as bacteria or fungi that have evolved the ability…
